military action in iraq. and now he's taking more heat on capitol hill. that is where we find tracie potts. is the president still considering air strikes? >> reporter: yes, according to the white house, it's still on the table, but there are concerns about what the u.s. would strike. what we do know is that planes and drones are already flying over iraq as of this morning. they are trying to gather more surveillance, who are these militants, where are they, what might they strike next. the white house has said that the president is reluctant to order air strikes up they have more information. t turkey's leader said there is concern civilians could get hit if the u.s. goes ahead with the air strikes certainly with the lack of intelligence that they have now. thus the surveillance that we're seeing going on. and there is growing concern here on capitol hill about iraq's prime minister nuri al maliki not the most popular person on this side of the

atlantic. president obama, the white house, not officially saying that they want him gone. we are hearing that here on capitol hill. the white house has said that is a decision for the iraqi people to make. but they are pressing him to provide a more inclusive government, shiite, sunni and kurds in hopes of bringing down the tensions we're seeing. >> some sort of u.s. action does seem imminent. time to check the forecast much closer to home. let's take a peek outside. live look over san francisco. clouds in the distance there. let's check the microclimate forecast. if you liked yesterday, you may like today. >> chances are, because more of the same on the way. good morning to you. thanks for waking up with us. let's start with your current temperatures out there. because this is at one point of the day where we have almost uniform conditions as we get in to this afternoon. and we start to see those temperatures separate. we're talking about a 10 to 15

degree difference between the inner bay and the immediate coast courtesy of the low clouds for today. so you do want to keep that in mind. overall, just a couple things to point out when it comes to your morning forecast. let's get right to it. we have the cloud cover clinging in ragged patches to the cho coastline. westerly flow so it temperatures upper 60s in places like santa cruz. but in pacifica and half moon bay, upper 60s. so that is where you will get the ocean influence. overall, it will definitely be a hot day inland. taking a live look here, 101 northbound at 280, watch this, people are not very courteous as they merge into this area. so keep in mind you always want to be a courteous driver. we have no accidents. that's just the usual stackup. we'll warm into the 90s inland this afternoon. nice and cool at the coast. tonight, your sun will set the

hit. a lot of hits with men in scoring position. and the most frustrating thing for pitchers to get two outs, they can't get the third out. >> reporter: and i want to ask you about pitching like you said. they get tim hudson and he's ban fantastic and maybe balance out a bit of the struggles tim lincecum has had. what has tim hudson brought to the starting five? >> he's brought some veteran leadership. i watch a lot of his games and when you've been around 17 years like he's been around, he gets out there, men on base, never loses composure. he's been there, done that. >> reporter: and how much fun are you having in your post playing days as an analyst with comcast sports net bay area? >> it's not easy to do. you got talking in your ear, telling you what you can't look at. so you have to focus on what you're saying and try to make a point in a limited period of time and not step on anybody

else's stuff. but it's a lot of fun. >> reporter: you know usual preaching to the choir. a little bit harder than it looks. always a pleasure. thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> a little behind will of scenes there of what broadcasts deal with. he's a pro. >> i feel like we were just vindicated because the perception is you're just kind of reading from a teleprompter, but there are a lot of moving pieces. not everyone makes it look as flawless as you do. >> you're sweet. brandon bell is inching closer to returning to the team. giants say he suffered no set backs after he broke his thumb last month. >> let's hope you heals. >> they could use that infusion of pow foresure. 6:40. coming up, an 11-year-old golfing phenom teeing off with people twice her age. coming up next, we'll show you how a bay area girl is making

>> my client is a folk hero to people all over the world for making her stand up to her dauft. she is the mother of the year. she did nothing wrong. her daughter was being bullied and she confronted the bully. what is wrong with that? >> reporter: and that is the question today, whether or not it crossed the line and became physical. the district attorney's office asked for more time in order to do more investigation to see whether or not there was actual proof that her hand, her hand size, was the one that made those marks on that little boy. again, we should be learning a little bit later at around 8:30 this morning whether or not that mother will face charges or she will be set free, let free. she's actually already out bail. but she'll actually not face any charges at that time that point. we hope to actually hear from her then. derek shore, nbc bay area news for today in the bay. it is time to check the

try to figure out what starteded a fire that burned two homes in sunnyvale. from our helicopter, you can see just how bad that damage is. and what investigators are up against as they begin to pick through the mess. so far they think the fire started between two homes on lantana drive. chris sanchez is live in sunnyvale. investigators still don't know how it even started. >> reporter: no, initially it sounded like perhaps it started inside one of the homes, but then investigators later said that it appeared that it started outside between the two homes that are now a complete loss. you might be able to hear in the distance there some tree trimmers. one of those guys is one of the heros of the day. yesterday he went around knocking on doors as soon as he saw the flames shooting through the roof and helped people to get out very quickly. so normal for them, not normal for the folks who live inside these two homes.

firefighters moved quickly, but the flames were for a fast. t it could have been way worse because inside one home, there was a home daycare center where one of the children was sleeping when the fire started. again, that tree trimmer knocked on doors in the area. another neighbor also helped folks to get outside. fortunately, everyone made it out alive. >> it took off so fast. >> the heat coming off the neighbor's house, could you feel it. i've never seen a fire that close and it was terrifying. >> at least our lives, we have our lives. and i think my neighbor's dog died. >> reporter: firefighters did run into the burning home, they didn't stay long, they came out and they maintained a defensive position putting water from the outside because they were concerned that the roof of one of those homes would collapse. it was again a defensive fight.

one of the neighbors taking the lead also grabbing a garden hose climbing up on to the roof of his house trying to protect his home from any of those flying embers. police did ask him to come down and then ordered him to come down. but he said there wasn't much he could do to stop himself from trying to protect his home. investigators will be back out here on the scene looking for clues trying to figure out what happened as those families figure out what is next for them, as well. reporting live, chris sanchez, today in the bay. >> at least they got out alive. thanks, chris. a man who was killed a few units shy of graduating there college will be given a posthumous degree. he was shot and killed when he accidently went into the wrong apartment in his building. the 68-year-old man who shot him was arrested but later released. today a san jose judge will hear frominsists he
